1. Honey-Ginger Marinade or Sauce
These ingredients combine to make a flavorful, slightly sweet, tangy, and aromatic base perfect for chicken, fish, or tofu.
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons honey
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
-
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
-
Optional: soy sauce, chili flakes, or olive oil
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, onion, garlic, and ginger.
-
Use as a marinade for 30–60 minutes before cooking meat, or as a sauce: simmer in a small pan for 5–10 minutes to let flavors meld.
-
Brush over roasted vegetables or grilled proteins for a sweet-tangy glaze.
2. Natural Remedy / Soothing Drink
This combination is also a classic for soothing colds, sore throats, or boosting immunity.
Instructions
-
Finely chop or grate the onion and ginger.
-
Mix with honey and a squeeze of lemon juice.
-
Let it sit 5–10 minutes to release juices.
-
Take 1–2 teaspoons at a time, or mix into warm water or tea.
💡 Tips:
-
For a smoother sauce, you can blend the mixture.
-
Adjust honey and lemon to balance sweetness and acidity.
-
Garlic and ginger lose some heat when cooked gently—raw use preserves more zing.
